Well, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring; last week's predictions seemed like fun. :) And why the hell not.
Precious Pichus vs
Yveltal Yeet Squad
BO3: HunterStorm vs
Velvet Blood (Tough one here--both are very talented players. I'm probably going against the stream here, but I'm picking Velvet. This will go three, and I think the matchup may be in Velvet's favor.)
USUM: neomon vs
frogger1387 (To be honest, I haven't seen neomon play before, but frogger is good, so I'm rolling with him for this predict.)
USUM:
Sitonai vs AnythingGoesLegend (AGL has looked solid recently--bringing different sets to room tours and ladder and playing them well. Sitonai is very tough, however. I'm taking the latter.)
USUM: Sets vs
MDB (This is going to be tight. I think MDB just manages to get the win here, but since it's BO1, it'll depend so much on matchup. Maybe if Sets makes me more blitz tours, he'll get good karma. *Hint, hint*)
USUM: Power vs
Lavaclaw (I don't know these players well, but Lavaclaw is pretty good as I understand it, so why not.)
ORAS:
Thimo vs Raj.Shoot (Thimo is one of the Gen 6 GOATs. He already told off the AG chatroom for fanboying, so might as well make it worse.)
Shimmering Skarmories vs Nefarious Nidokings
BO3:
Zenithial vs Skarph (OooooooooooooooI'mgoingwithZenithialoooooooooooooh, highlight match! Also, HP Rock--just going to leave that there.)
USUM: ice-master-523 vs
BaconEatinAssassin (Perhaps the match I'm most looking forward to this week. This will be very close I think. I have a lot of respect for Bacon and ice, both as friends and as players. I think Bacon will narrowly win this, but as it's BO1, it's anyone's game. Really too bad this couldn't be BO3.)
USUM:
Pigeons vs Dockiva (Dockiva I hear is good, but Pigeons is among my heroes, and assuming he makes a witty comment in the match and flaps his wings, he's got this.)
USUM: Mysterious M vs Drakus04 (Disclaimer: I don't really know Mysterious M, so I'm going to leave this one blank, as I really don't know.
)
USUM:
ag is ass vs. Terracotta (as is ass is a pretty solid ladder player, and he's looking forward to playing in AGPL.)
ORAS: iLlama vs
DontStealMyPenguin (My man, DSMP! :) A GOAT of the game and a good friend; like Medvedev, he'll dig deep to win here.)
Horrendous Houndooms vs
Vicious Vivillons
BO3:
Catalystic vs Megazard (Ooooh, battle of the ROs. Cata will gather a posse to cheer him on to a Game 3 victory.)
USUM: skysolo
vs Jrdn (Hey, I'm figuring this whole predicting thing out, guys! Bolding the "vs" means you have no idea, right? Yeah, well, good because I have no idea...)
USUM: Alkione vs.
Quantum Tesseract (QT is pretty good. May be a bit rusty after not playing continuously for a while, but I think he gets the W.)
USUM:
GRNBLN vs lotiasite (This should be a pretty good one. GRN is tough, though, and I think he'll bring some cool sets and take this one.)
USUM: Quaseem vs
vivalospride (Well, in seemingly vivalospride fashion, vivalospride seems pretty cool by his fun AGPL predicts, so he'll get my predict here.)
ORAS: absdaddy vs
Chloe (Chloe=ORAS goddess. Looking forward to cool sets :) )
